Internal error with Intel Inspector 2016 Update 1

[francois_j_1]

Hi,

When doing a threading error analysis on an application with Inspector 2016 Update 1, the analysis is terminated due to an internal error. The pin.log then contains the following line:

Pin 2.14 kit 75030
E:  Unable to allocate 1365 bytes in the code cache without exceeding the code cache limit. Consider lowering the high-water mark for code cache flushes (via the -high_water_mark flag)

This happens when the application is compiled with either Visual Studio 2010 or 2013. Also worth mentionning, this error only happens under Windows 7 SP1. I was unable to reproduce it under Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.

I can send the result directory via private message if needs be.

Thanks,

Francois

Thank you of reporting this.

What is your application type? 32bit or 64bit? Sometime, if you built a big 32bit application, and Inspector will consume extra memory to exceed 2GB memory boundary to cause PIN failure.

Please send me private message with problematical result directory. Thanks again.

I have received your result directory, and escalated this issue to developer. I will get back to you soon if any progress.
